Yea, he seems like a by-the-numbers type. I think they might have something with both of them being tinkerers/mechanics, especially considering both wear life support suits (even though Wendy doesn’t need hers). She might be sarcastic and a bit colder but she knows there is a lot to learn. A 50 year old soldier, who works on his own suit, is a valuable source of instruction and feedback on Wendy’s own tinkering on her suit. Thus, I feel there would be some camaraderie. Maybe not outside of the shop, but in the shop they’d probably be colleagues geeking out over metal and machines.
